If a biosolids spill occurs on a road, who will clean the spill up?
Spills are cleaned up by the land applier, the Virginia Department of Transportation, or the local government using their contractor, depending on the location of the spill. Spills are typically cleaned up within a few hours. Spills resulting from vehicular accidents may require a longer time to remove damaged vehicles. Complaints will be investigated as soon as possible by VDH in cooperation with local governments and enforcement actions where permit violations have occurred.
